Leveling alt characters Boring+Burnout

^ for real? Have we went this low? Noone is asking for perfect gear nor lvl 100.

Read the OP before answering next time.



On topic: leveling alts is a time sink (deliberate or not - hard to tell). Initially they maed it this way so decisions have weight. In game so brutally casualised as POE had become this is probably the only part that sticks to this concept.

Gameplay is more and more auto-play. Archetypes remove build exploration. Auto-win skill choices make sure you cannot fail. And suddenly this. Like wtf?

Each time i want to try a new character (caster) i use the same gear and gems till lvl68 (that i farm in blood aqueduct). How is it fun? And no, i cannot level 'as' a character vecause most mechanics/gear interactions are lvl65+ (directly or indirectly - like 5% life on block does jack sheet with 1900life total i have at lvl 67)

The only passable leveling experience is melee but it is passable in the bad way. You are challenged by any mob you face so the endfame starts early (divine ire totems on the other hand: lvl 73, tier 13 6mod map, 2200life, no risk whatsoever..).

Problem is that the older you get the more precious the time becomes. Wasting 8hours just to get to maps (realistic for most players) means 8hours that is not fun nor investment. Leveling for nth time with the same setup (because alternatives are garbage) sure is boring as hell

Just exaggerated a little, you're doing that on a much bigger scale every time you make a topic so you are among the last persons on this forum qualified to try and lecture me here.

Honestly, just look at the topics here in the feedback forum. "Game wastes my time", "Game is too repetitive", "Item drops/rewards" are too bad, "Leveling characters burns me out". I literally just paraphrased bullshit you can find en mass by just clicking through a handful of topics on page 1 of this subforum.

Ye I agree, after leveling about 100 characters its rly not that fun anymore.....would wish myself a posibilitty to get rush into maps (like in Diablo 3 where people can push you to LVL 70)

Or give us a microtransaction for 10$ where the character auto complete all 10 Acts, all SIdequests + Lab Trials ( You have do all 3 Labs by yourself and ofc fin all 6 POrtals for Uber LAb)

In a new league this microtransaction unlocks as soon as you have ulocked Avakener 5 or so.

You could use twink gear and blitz through the leveling experience (those lvling twink gears sell fast as well so your not losing out).

If that isn't your jam you could also pay someone 1 exa or whatever the rate is for xx-70 powerleveling via delve.

Let just hope the new campaign of poe will be shorter ... i sincerely doubt they will anytime remove the leveling throught act.

But sure, tell a PoE veteran to "learn" lel.

I love reading your posts. You are so humble and grounded, I dont understand why no one is learning despite you being so wise.

I also dont get why anyone would want to skip this exciting experience of raising a second or third character while we have awesome acts, much variety and fun mechanics. Cant wait to collect fireflys in the next league!!
Fortunately we have devs who stick to the good old stuff, screw this wannabe modern nonsense!

This is a you problem.
People complaining about stuff do this for a reason. Not being able to comprehend why is yet again, about you.
Or do you seriously think releveling something in this game for the 100th time is anything else then tiresome?

Thanks honey. If I cared at all I'd tattoo that on a wall, but alas, I do not. On the same matter, what have you added to the conversation except stirring the pot? Boring.

People shouldn't be able to change their characters like they change their clothes. I have explained that the reason behind my stance is the same why I defend the death penalty. If you don't understand my perspective, in your words, that is not a me-problem, that is a you-problem.

Even if it was the same length, it'd be some change from the usual. Will be fun to figure out good new routes and explore Wraeclast from a different side. :)

People: *6-8h to level to end game*

Me: *three days leveling from start, using a new build, learning new stuff, to finally reach maps, even with powerfull leveling gear*

I really never felt burned when I decided to level a new exile. It's boring but also needed to learn new builds. For me that's the only reason I level a new exile: play a different build.

If you level multiple exiles with the same or similar builds/playstyle I agree it becomes boring and burning.

I don't think this aspect of the game needs changes.

Fixed the sentence for you, and yes, it is tiresome. That's one of the reasons why i am so sick of having to read the same pointless lamentations over and over again.

I do very well understand why people dislike certain aspects of the game but what i don't understand is how they can keep smashing their head against a wall by complaining over and over again about stuff that just won't change because it's obvious as night and day that GGG want's it to be exactly the way it is.

In some cases we even have official posts from GGG or comments from Chris on Baeclast explaining in detail why they do things the way they do and what their design philosphy is. You don't have to agree with that philosophy, i certainly don't in many cases, but if you honestly expect him to change his philosophy because of your whining here then you are way beyond help. If i was even half as pissed at the game as some of the people here that make 20 posts a week then i would have quit the game months ago.

I realize the whining won't stop just because i can't hear it anymore, so i am making fun of it, that way it's atleast a little entertaining.

"why i am so sick of having to read the same pointless lamentations over and over again. "
"just because i can't hear it anymore"

are you exaggerating again or why are you so dramatic? :D

could it be that there are so many people with different opinions and a different point of view and you+ artcrusade are simply trying to smash opinions into the heads?

no, its the fault of lazy people!
